Covid 19 Digital Passport Scam
The scammers are still at it folks. But thankfully, on the plus side, regular website visitor and contributor, John from Blacon, keeps us abreast of the latest scams wherever possible. This includes news of this latest “Covid 19 Digital Passport Scam“. Sadly it looks like these scammers are not going to give up, no matter how low they need to stoop to get their scams out there. Have a read of this latest Cheshire Police Alert. And, as ever, spread the word wherever you can.
Thanks again John. As ever your valuable and informative article is much appreciated. Let’s hope one day the scammers will decide to call it a day and leave us alone. I know, I know, just a pipedream. We can but hope though.
Covid 19 Digital Passport Scam
Here’s the article sent out by Cheshire Police.
“We have been made aware of a Covid Vaccine Passport scam email going around that purports to be from the NHS and informs recipients that they can apply for their “Digital Coronavirus Passports.”
Clicking on the link within the email, takes you to a convincing but fake NHS website that asks for personal and payment details (for an admin fee).
The website has since been taken down. But, in case similar emails/websites appear can you please circulate the attached alert to your residents, members, groups and mailing lists.
And just to reiterate, your vaccination status is obtained FREE through the NHS App, website or by calling the NHS on 119.
More information can be found on the gov.uk website: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/demonstrating-your-covid-19-vaccination-status-when-travelling-abroad.
Please note that any Phishing scams can be reported to SERS (Suspicious Email Reporting Service): report@phishing.gov.uk.
